I'm having IV Sedation for oral surgery tomorrow and I'm terrified? I went to the dentist on May 19th because the lower left side of my jaw was pulsating, sore, and swollen. I explained that I have a normally high heart rate, but I forgot to tell them about how my mother and sister have to take antibiotics before going to the dentist. Anyway, the dentist referred me to an oral surgeon the same day, and I explained that I am a very nervous person, and that I am afraid of vomit and diarrhea. I also told him about the local shot they gave me four years ago that made my heart race. According to both the dentist and oral surgeon, my root tips need to come out because they are exposed and that's all that's left. The oral surgeon needs to cut into the gum, and has recommended IV sedation where I'm knocked out. I need two IV units. In addition to all that, I also forgot to tell anyone about the fact that when I was in the hospital with pneumonia and asthma problems, I was given some sort of IV medication that made my heart rate speed up so high that the hospital had to bring in a heart specialist. Plus, I've been taking Clindamycin as prescribed by the dentist, 1 150mg pill 3 times a day for a week, and I will have a few left come tomorrow at 8:45am - the time of my surgery. I started out taking one a day at the beginning because my stomach is torn up as it is from worrying, but I've been taking 3 a day since Sunday (although I think I forgot a dose yesterday). I was told by the oral surgeon to not eat for eight hours prior to surgery, but take any medication as needed with little water. Taking that antiobiotic on an empty stomach could cause my to get sick during surgery! To top it all off, I'm a heavy sleeper, and I'm worried about not waking up from the IV. I'm also worried about my body being allergic to whatever's in the IV and I won't know it, or that I'll have a heart attack or cardiac arrest. I'm also afraid of how I'll be when waking up - my boyfriend is driving so that's taken care of. I'm concerned about the amount of pain I'll be in. With all that said, I am seriously petrified. There are so many things on my mind. I take 150mg of Effexor per day, after dinner. I used to take Tenormin (25mg), BuSpar (20mg), and Protonix for GERD (40mg). I stopped taking all except the Effexor because I stopped seeing my doctor, but was taking Tylenol PM at night for the past several months because I wasn't able to get to a dentist and was in pain. The last night I took that was 5/26. Basically, I am freaking out, and have been feeling on the verge of a nervous breakdown since 5/19. I'm worried about dying, puking, waking up in a hospital bed, etc. the list goes on. With all that said, and less than 24 hours until my possible fate of doom, should I be worried? Are there any drugs in particular that could produce a negative interaction with IV sedation? Am I going to be alright? I couldn't think to ask these questions because I was a nervous wreck on 5/19! The oral surgeon knows the majority of what I've written, just a couple of things I forgot because I was extremely nervous!
